Commander Cordelia Normandy wakes from cryosleep to find herself caught in an interstellar war between an alien empire and their hybrid creations.

Crash-landing on the strange planet, her crew winds up scattered, and she’s compelled to join forces with one of the locals to track them down. Rentir is an overeager alien rebel who’s never seen a woman before, and she has the strangest sense that there’s nothing he wouldn’t do if she asked.

As Cordelia and Rentir race to recover her crew before the empire can abduct them, one thing becomes abundantly clear: there’s a reason there are no women on Yulaira.

Juno’s voyage to the stars is her last-ditch attempt at a fresh start after she lost all hope of making a life on Earth. It turns out, even hundreds of thousands of miles aren’t enough to outrun trauma. Now she’s stranded on an alien planet, grappling with her anxiety disorder without the help of modern medicine.

Melam isn’t an optimist. Reviled by his own kind and their creators alike, he has no real attachment to anything on Yulaira – at least, until he meets Juno. She’s mercurial, demanding, and never stops talking. In essence? She’s a total thorn in his side… and he will destroy anything and anyone that comes between them.

Ophelia is a woman of simple needs: she has a job she likes, a fiance she loves, and an apartment that’s her refuge. Her life is turned upside down by the revelation that her fiance is not so content. In a bid to spice up their sex life, he brings home a state of the art android.

Sam is just a machine. A machine that seems strangely invested in her love life, her mental health, and her sense of fulfillment in life. She’s sure it’s just a quirk of his programming that he comes across so possessive… at least, until he does the impossible by telling lies and refusing commands.
